About the Atalaya Elementary 2026 Turkey Trot
The race starts and finishes at an elementary school, and the crowd reflects that: a lot of families, plenty of kids, and the feel of a neighborhood tradition rather than a competitive event. The school is also the main beneficiary, with proceeds going to its parent-teacher association, so there is a reason beyond the run to show up.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the school itself, with race-morning pickup available as well. The organizers note that the race goes ahead even in snow, which in Santa Fe during the holiday season is a real possibility worth planning around.
